Make Photo Square Without Cropping – Online Tool

Update: Initially, this post was written for Instagram, when they only allow square photos. But this post is still valid for if you want to make photo square for other purposes.

Instagram only allows square photos. If you upload a landscape image, you will have to crop it. Now there are a plethora of mobile applications that apply padding to the picture and make it square. But what if you are using Instagram on your computer?

You can easy do that with image editing software like photoshop or gimp. But this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially for ‘not so tech savvy’ people.
